How did you choose your username?

Is it possible to change ones username , if so how? Mine is initials plus house number .

This morning I wore a long sleeved black T shirt and black trousers for work. My husband said it was 'very 60s'. So all day I was Emma Peel from The Advengers in a black catsuit. So I had to chose her as my username.

Ok, jalima I've shown you mine, now show me yours! ?

You may think that about my house, jalima, but I couldn't possibly comment!
I could show you a grey duster or two Greyduster

I thought my username was very appropriate!

I choose this because GD calls me nan and every one else calls me Bb.....Even though my name is Bernadette !!!!

Lily jingle was banned from GN last year but I follow her on another social media platform. She has another name, posts are lovely and she is fine.

Such a lot of interesting answers. Thank you everyone. It's a shame we can't change our usernames because I'd change mine. At least it is anonymous which is useful but it isn't as colourful as some names which give a sense of the person behind the name. I think the 09 was when I joined. I did a lot of lurking before I dared post!
HopeHope your username is lovely. Welcome.

I was 64 at the time I joined gransnet. I loved the Beatles song and as a young woman, couldn't imagine ever being 64.

Mine is what I call my darling granddaughter, I was fascinated by Jinglebellsfrocks name and how she got it , but I don't see her on Gransnet any more, anyone know anything , is she ok I wonder,

If I had realised that my name makes me fairly recognisable I would have chosen a little more wisely. It's just my name and I have 1 GS, not very clever. I just hope that none of my friends join!

I too am married to a Nonno. However I am not Nonna, nor am I in the slightest bit
bella but it just seemed to combine well.

I am new here although I have posted once on the anti histamine thread. I thought of Hope because I do hope alot of things every day. Hope was taken so I doubled it up . Now I wish I had given igt more thought, anyway Hope it is.

You'll have to guess

I come from Norfik, so it seemed apt. I'm making no comment about my shape.

I thought Coolgran sounded funky and I was 65 when I joined. Now 68.

I used to be a telephone operator in the dim and distant past, so I was originally numberplease. Then there was what Soop calls a buggeration and I couldn`t get onto Gransnet for a few days, so rejoined under a new name, another name for a telephonist.

I got very grumpy when picking my name and everyone was rejected, so picked Mildred because my granny was Milly, when I thought about it she was probably Millicent.

Because I do

You may think that about my house, jalima, but I couldn't possibly comment!

My mum was from Italy. My user name is a nod to the nickname I was given by my Italian grandmother.

Greyduster I had puzzled about that - now I have an explanation (and it's not that you have dusted a very dirty house )

DS's affectionate name for his mother.
But I haven't got a beard (yet).

My family refer to me, unjustly of course, as the Christmas Grump

Family nickname from childhood. Not that appropriate then as I was a scrawny little thing. More appropriate now perhaps!
